As reported, STAR☆ANIS and AIKATSU☆STARS!, the two singer groups who have performed the songs for the two previous Aikatsu series, will “graduate” from the franchise after the “Aikatsu! Music Festa in Aikatsu Budokan!” concerts to be held on February 27 and 28. Instead of the anime voice actresses, they have performed the theme and character songs for the franchise for five years, but from the next third series Aikatsu Friends!, the voice actresses are set to sing their character songs by themselves.

In commemoration of the franchise’s fifth anniversary and the two groups’ graduation, their music label Lantis has posted a full music video for their last song “AIKATSU GENERATION” on its official YouTube channel. The song is included in the “Aikatsu! & Aikatsu Stars! Special Drama CD” released yesterday, February 14. In the five and half minutes clip, each member shows their last hand-writing messages to fans.
